| - My wife and I had occasion to be in the small town of Streetsboro recently. We were looking for a good restaurant, but the pickings were slim. A local recommended this restaurant, which is part of the Brown Derby and Brown Derby Roadhouse chain of steakhouses operating in Ohio. Notwithstanding my aversion to chain restaurants, we tried it.
The main dining room is large and nicely appointed. There is also a separate good-sized barroom. We had no reservation, but the hostess offered to seat us immediately. We opted to have a drink at the bar first. I asked the hostess if she would hold a booth near a window that we spotted, and she readily agreed even though the restaurant was filling up.
We found a couple of stools at the bar and were served very well made drinks that were amply poured. When we settled the bill, we were very surprised that the drinks were so modestly priced. We then learned the prices of the drinks, which are normally inexpensive, were reduced because we had luckily hit the bar during "happy hour."
We were then seated at the booth that we requested. That night the restaurant was running a special that included a New York strip, a side, and a salad for $17. I was skeptical as to what kind of steak dinner could be served for $17. Nevertheless, we both ordered that special with my wife having mixed vegetables as her side and me the French fries. We were first served the salad that was extremely large and served in one bowl. It consisted of mixed greens with an assortment of other ingredients, including tomatoes, cucumbers, and croutons with a Dijon vinaigrette dressing. The salad was very crisp, cold, well prepared and tasty and accompanied by fresh baked rolls and honey butter that was delectable.
Next came our steaks, and this is where I thought the restaurant beat us because although the steaks filled our plates, they were thinner than what I like. But to my surprise, the meat was juicy, tender, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. Moreover, the steaks were extremely filling and could barely be finished. As to my fries, they were some of the best I ever had. They were hot, crisp on the outside, tender inside, and lightly coated with some special seasonings that made this item extraordinarily good.
Our dining experience at this Brown Derby was outstanding. The food was delicious, the cost extremely moderate, the setting pleasant, and the service very friendly and efficient.
